Zsh Configuration Files
|
|
|
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zsh has several system-wide and user-local configuration files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
System-wide configuration files are installation-dependent but are installed
|
|
|
|
|
in */etc* by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
User-local configuration files have the same name as their global counterparts
|
|
|
|
|
but are prefixed with a dot (hidden). Zsh looks for these files in the path
|
|
|
|
|
stored in the `$ZDOTDIR` environmental variable. However, if said variable is
|
|
|
|
|
not defined, Zsh will use the user's home directory.

File Descriptions
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The configuration files are read in the following order:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
01. /etc/zshenv
|
|
|
|
|
02. ~/.zshenv
|
|
|
|
|
03. /etc/zprofile
|
|
|
|
|
04. ~/.zprofile
|
|
|
|
|
05. /etc/zshrc
|
|
|
|
|
06. ~/.zshrc
|
|
|
|
|
07. /etc/zlogin
|
|
|
|
|
08. ~/.zlogin
|
|
|
|
|
09. ~/.zlogout
|
|
|
|
|
10. /etc/zlogout
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### zshenv
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This file is sourced by all instances of Zsh, and thus, it should be kept as
|
2012-06-12 15:13:21 -04:00
|
|
|
small as possible and should only define environment variables.
|
2012-05-22 12:49:45 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### zprofile
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This file is similar to zlogin, but it is sourced before zshrc. It was added
|
|
|
|
|
for [KornShell][1] fans. See the description of zlogin bellow for what it may
|
|
|
|
|
contain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
zprofile and zlogin are not meant to be used concurrently but can be done so.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### zshrc
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This file is sourced by interactive shells. It should define aliases,
|
|
|
|
|
functions, shell options, and key bindings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-09-03 16:08:39 -04:00
|
|
|
This is the main Prezto configuration file.
|
2012-05-22 12:49:45 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### zlogin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This file is sourced by login shells after zshrc, and thus, it should contain
|
|
|
|
|
commands that need to execute at login. It is usually used for messages such as
|
|
|
|
|
[fortune][2], [msgs][3], or for the creation of files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is not the file to define aliases, functions, shell options, and key
|
|
|
|
|
bindings. It should not change the shell environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### zlogout
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This file is sourced by login shells during logout. It should be used for
|
|
|
|
|
displaying messages and the deletion of files.
